On the other hand, 26.3% of STEM students in the 12th grade examine their financial
situation.Whether they like it or not, whether they want it or not, picking a college course
is difficult for them when they are struggling financially or are in a precarious financial
situation. They are left with no option but to select a different path. In contrast, the data
we have collected indicates that future opportunities are the least taken into account.
When picking a course for college, only 21.1% of students choose their college courses
based on their potential career paths. And last, parental influence. The statistics indicate
that no students give their parents' influence a second thought. Why these pupils didn't
give it any thought is something we will never know. It could be that the child is
preoccupied with interests other than what their parents desire. They are primarily
foundation for their academic and professional journey. While the decision-making
process typically lies in the hands of the student, it is undeniable that parents and
guardians play a crucial role in influencing and shaping their child's choices. The

The data presented provides insights into the perceived influence of parents and
guardians on college course selection. The responses indicate that 21.1% of the
participants acknowledged their parents or guardians influence, while 47.4% firmly
believed that their parents or guardians influence did not impact their choice of college
courses. Additionally, 31.6% of the respondents expressed uncertainty or the possibility
of parental or guardian influence. This data shows that parental or guardian influence on
college course selection is not universally perceived by the graduating Grade 12 students.
The majority of respondents feel that they have made independent choices regarding their
college courses, indicating a sense of autonomy and personal decision-making. On the
other hand, the significant proportion of respondents who selected "maybe" suggests that
they acknowledge the potential influence of their parents or guardians but are uncertain
about its extent. Further research will be advised in order to understand the underlying
factors contributing to these responses.

Based on the data you provided, it appears that 36.8% of respondents feel they
have enough information about the different college courses available to them, while
6.8% do not feel they have enough information.
The majority of respondents, 57.9%, are unsure or have mixed feelings, indicating
that they may need more information or have varying levels of confidence in their
knowledge about college courses. This data suggests that there is a significant portion of
individuals who are uncertain or lack sufficient information about the different college
courses available to them. This may indicate a need for improved access to information,
guidance, or resources related to college courses. Further research could explore the
factors contributing to this uncertainty and identify potential strategies to address it, such
as improved career counseling, informational materials, or online platforms that provide
comprehensive and easily accessible information about college courses.
